# Action-SpigotMC
This Action allows you to easily compile Minecraft Spigot or Paper
and install it in your runners local maven repository.
Supported:
* SpigotMC (using official BuildTools or my modified one)
* ~~PaperMC~~ (coming soon #26)
You configure all the versions you want, and it'll compile all the missing versions automatically.
By checking for a file in the local maven repository beforehand, build times can be reduces drastically.
By default, this Action uses [a fork](https://github.com/SpraxDev/Spigot-BuildTools#readme) of the
[original BuildTools](https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/buildtools/browse)
to introduce some improvements in *system compatibility* and *speed*.
## Usage
**Note:** Use `actions/cache` as described [here](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/guides/building-and-testing-java-with-maven#caching-dependencies) to save some additional time by caching between runs!
All the values already provided below are their default values.
If you don't change them, you can remove them from your workflow,
as they are set automatically.
